Later that year, #RachelCauley attended part of Hale-Cusanelli's #criminal trial & sat with his supporters.

On social media, Cauley referred to the trial as a "clown trial" & said Hale-Cusanelli's conviction was a "complete miscarriage of justice."

Reached by phone this week, Cauley told an NPR reporter three times, "You can send me an email," before hanging up.

She did not respond to subsequent emails.

#RachelCauley also handled media requests for the group. In 2022, the founder of the #PatriotFreedomProject gave a lengthy interview to the explicitly #WhiteNationalist website #CounterCurrents. (The editor-in-chief of Counter-Currents authored a book called The White Nationalist Manifesto & has written about "#Hitler's Significance for Our Struggle.") After that interview received wider attention online, it appeared to be removed from the website.

Before joining the #Trump admin as the communications director for the #OMB, #RachelCauley served on the board of the #PatriotFreedomProject. The nonprofit group was founded in direct response to the arrest of Hale-Cusanelli on #Jan6 charges.

@heidilifeldman. I would only add to what's already been noted about #JeffClark's perversion of the law, #RachelCauley's quote re: #Washingtonpost, the very outlet covering the story. “The regime hates those who don’t blindly obey, it insists on criminalizing and destroying those who disagree, and when that doesn’t work, it uses its scribes at The Washington Post to further abuse and intimidate us into submission.” The scribes at the Post must have gotten a mischievous kick by including this.
